Essential Balances In Organisations (workshop)
(Note: you can play the actual Prezi and get more information at http://www.strategicstructures.com/?page_id=1101) In any organisation, regardless of sector, size, complexity or structure, certain balances are essential for its performance and adaptability. These include balancing autonomy and cohesion, maintaining diversity and stability, and navigating between exploration and exploitation. They can be seen at different levels – network of organisations, within organisation, department, team or individual – and they are equally important at each level. For an organisation to be healthy, management needs to be able to sense when one or more of these falls out of balance – and act accordingly. This ability can help to quickly diagnose complex situations and to make better strategic and operational decisions. It is even more valuable to be able to grow the organisation in a way that its harmony and adaptability come naturally. That will not happen by adopting best practices, but by cultivating different thinking habits. This workshop demonstrates what it means to have that and helps in making the first steps.
